      Problem statement

      Essentials aims at auto-detecting a misbehaving Jenkins instance, for whatever reason.

      Analyzing GC logging is the only way to detect correctly for instance that we may have something eating a lot of memory or so.

      Proposal

      We should enable GC logging on the Jenkins Essentials JVM, because it is a critical part of the story to reliably detect a misbehaving instance.

      Complementarily to JENKINS-49805, we should definitely find a way to detect it and report it to participate to some release quality mark [1].

      [1] we probably to need to coin a good term for this I guess
